Mircea Posted May 1, 2022 Share Posted May 1, 2022 Hello from Romania My name is Mircea. I'm a retired Engineer and a life time amateur astronomer. I had my first telescope 32 years ago. (If we do not count the singlet refractor built around an eyeglass lens.) I like to do observations of double stars, Deep Sky objects ... and anything else. I wish you all clear sky and goodluck at observing, Mircea 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mircea Posted May 2, 2022 Author Share Posted May 2, 2022 (edited) Thank you to all of you for the worm welcome ! Usually I'm observing double stars when the Moon is up. I hide in the shadow of the house and from there I'm perusing the double stars in the maps of CDSA or Taki. Last week was a ''galaxy week'', what a great week. I succeeded to see again the Markarian Chain. And the supernova 2022hrs in NGC 4647. But now is cloudy . Today, in the morning, I had a last hazy view of the Venus-Jupiter Conjunction. Clear sky, Mircea Edited May 2, 2022 by Mircea 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mircea Posted May 3, 2022 Author Share Posted May 3, 2022 Thank you dillon80uk si multumesc alexbb ! Starwatcher2001 The radio telescope in your picture is that from Jodrell Bank ? I had the chance to see it ''in flesh and bones'' in 1999 when I made my only visite to UK. I just checked on Telescopius, there will be not much chances here for stargazing this week. Only for Thursday and Sunday evenings, the clouds percentage will be around 35% to 40%. Maybe observations through ''sucker holes'' ... On those occasions I use to do small telescope astronomy : 60mm refractor or 90mm Mak. Or binocular observations. You cannot plan anything, it is more astronomical guerilla.

It's quite awe inspiring close up. Unfortunately it was having work done on it and was therefore permanently pointing upwards. I must make the effort to go back for another look. Looking foward to seeing you on the board. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mircea Posted May 6, 2022 Author Share Posted May 6, 2022 Thank you Dave ! Starwatcher2001 Thank you for the reply. The Jodrell Bank telescope is very impressive. I enjoyed to visit the exposition, to see the hologram of Newton and countless other interesting things. I have somewhere a picture of mine, holding a 10x25mm binocular, in front of the huge dish. It reminded me the movie ''The Twins'' with Schwarzenegger and Danny de Vito ... Regards, Mircea Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
